Hi Davey B,
i received a phonecall this morning confirming I have a golden Bond place for them My sister will be running for them to.
She works in a local rehabillitation centre for patients following head and spinal injuries. Our father has been an MS sufferer for 35 years and so this seemed a very worthwhile and appropriate charity to run for.
I hope you are recovering well and all the best with your training

Hi Again,
I have just checked my calendar and see that Jan 9th is on a monday. Its a real shame that I wont be ale to make the foundations evening at Highbury-gutted. I live in Devon and work full time Monday to Friday :0(.
Never mind, they sound a super charity with good support between now and April 23rd.
cant believe I am putting myself through this again. this'll be my 4th London marathon and 5th in total (Ran Dublin end of October) I just love the training and whole build up to it, and the atmosphere of London is unbeatable. My husband wont be running this time though, he's decided to go back to footie.
Happy Christmas to you too!

Davey how can I sponsor you. My farrier fell off a horse and broke his back in June this year and altough he can now walk again he will quite probably never work again. I think you have been incredibly brave as I have told you before so want to support your cause.
Being a horse rider myself and having had numerous accidents I am also aware of how fragile your brain and spine are. I would like to know that the research is continuing into best treatments for those less fortunate than me

Hi Roy, for the last 2 years I have run for cancer related charities so this is a new one for me. If they are half as good as Children with Leukaemia I will be in good company. I look forward to meeting you & the rest of the team on the 9th january. How many people ran for this charity last year.
